Trigger shot tonight! Ec on Monday!!

[Lisaworthy1981]

Hello we started our ivf journey last year!! Things have happened fast and we’re now ready for egg collection on Monday!! I was scared for the injections but after day one all was fine and I became a pro 😜!! Went for a scan on Friday and all was great! Lining was a good thickness and 12 follicles on left and 4 on the right!! All brilliant sizes apparently, so we’re booked in on Monday for ec!!! I’m a little scared for this as I’ve never Been sedated before!!! Anyone any advice!!! Xxxx

[Princes14]

All sounds really positive! Good luck with egg collection, I had mine last Wednesday - under sedation. All went fine!

I seem to remember the oxygen mask going over my face, my pillow being re adjusted - then boom back on the ward waking up in tears with my hubby at my side! Apparently I snore/cry when recovering from sedation, it’s all normal - so be prepared for all reactions! Lol.

Little bit of cramping/lower abdo pain and generally feeling sleepy for the rest of the day. But it’s a breeze!

Good luck for Monday, I’ll be in for embryo transfer! 🤞🏼🍀💕

Thank you for your reply!! I’m sure I’ll be fine it just all seems really scary!!! Ha ha ok I’ll be prepared for what they say about me when I wake up lol!!!

How many eggs were collected from your ec, (hope you don’t mind me asking)

Sending you lots of luck for Monday too xxxx

[Princes14 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

Not at all, they collected 12! 5 have been fertilised 🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳it’s our second cycle, and the numbers have been much better this time around!

You’ll be fine at EC, I hope after you’ve been admitted and seen by the team your not having to wait around too long for your slot? I was admitted to the unit at 8 am, I didn’t go to theatre til 10:30. I was home by 12 though 👍🏻

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Princes14]

This is my first round of ivf but I have a 14 year old son from a previous relationship!! The small problem is with my partner so they say 😬!!

Ah brill that’s really good!! I’ve got all sorts going through my head!!! What if I’ve already ovulated 🙈 what’s if there’s no eggs and what if non fertilise!!!! Guess these are all normal thoughts!!!!

My slot is at 10 so I’ve to be there for 9.30! We’re a 2 he drive from the hospital, so travelling down tomorrow and having a night in a hotel, just to make it a bit less stressful on Monday morning!!!

Lots of luck xx

The sedation was the best part it’s nothing like a general apart from the fact I was still out cold but u feel absolutely fine when u wake up !! I was also pain free my clinic use a Voltarol suppository so I presume that helped 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for your reply!! Everyone’s telling me I’ll be fine, so I’m sure I will!! Just need to try and relax xx

[Hidden in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

I was a nervous wreck I’m not gonna lie but after it I was like that was nothing why was I so worried !! But hopefully I don’t have to do it again 🤞🏼🤞🏼

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

Fingers crossed!!!

How many eggs did they get?? And have you had your transfer xx

[Hidden in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

I only had 6 follicles and got 5 eggs , 3 fertilised and we had 1 put back on Wednesday so on the dreaded 2WW but I’m keeping busy at work nothing else for it x

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

Brilliant as they say it only takes one!!! Good luck with your journey xx

[Hidden in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

That’s it !! Good luck Monday u will be fine x

[Hidden]

Good luck for Monday! Second day of gonal-F today. How many days Injections did you have? (If you don't mind me asking!) X

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you!! I did Menopur for 4 days then Menopur and Cetrotide for 6 days then just Cetrotide today!! Then trigger shot at 10 tonight!!!

How you finding the injections xx

[Hidden]

Oh wow, that has gone very fast! I just feel really impatient and want to know when things will happen! Which i know is impossible to predict! Yeah okay so far thank you... feel like I'm getting potential twinges but I think it's all in my head! X

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

I was the same!! I wanted to no what was happening, but they only scanned me once while on them and that was yesterday!!!

I was dreading that too but got good results!!

I got twinges a few days after starting them which is obviously a good sign and there still twinging now!!!

How long are you injecting for?? Xx

[Hidden in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

How exciting, we just want to get to the collection day! My partner is carrying and so I am sharing with her!

I am on this dose for 4 days and then back to the clinic Tuesday for a scan to see what dose I need for the rest of the treatment! .. did you change your diet whilst injecting? I am trying to be as healthy as possible! (I've read way too much!!) X

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

Aww wow that’s amazing!!

I just got all my drugs at the same time! Apparently I’m text book 🤣 so let’s hope it carries on for the rest!

Ermm I was on SlimmingWorld prior to treatment, and lost two stone! So I just carried on as I was really!! Trying my best to eat healthy!

I’m also taking pregnacare

Xx

[Hidden in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Hidden]

Good luck to you too xx

[Poppy16]

Have no advice but want to wish you all the best for EC tomorrow.xo

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Poppy16]

Thank you xx

[Dunla]

All sounds to be progressing well for you. Wishing you the very best of luck for Monday. I’ve had deep sedation twice and I was fine, put to sleep within minutes of being wheeled into the procedure room and woken up again when it was all over. I was nervous too beforehand. Try to have a relaxing day today or do something that will help take your mind off things a little xo

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Dunla]

I hoping so!! Did my trigger and feeling a bit sicky this morning. Did you have this feeling!!

We’re having a lovely family day today then we’re travelling down to the hotel later on so we’re close by as it’s nearly a 2 he drive for us to the hospital!

Thank you for replying xxx

[Dunla in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

Great idea to stay at a hotel close by. We have done that several times as we also live a long distance from the clinic. It does help to make the morning of EC a lot less stressful. I did feel quite grotty and sluggish after the trigger shot. Not nice. Hope you are still able to enjoy your wee family day xx

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Dunla]

Thank you!! I’ll post tomorrow how it goes xx

[Autumnmoon]

Just want to send all my very best wishes for your egg collection

[Lisaworthy1981 in reply to Autumnmoon]

Thank you!! Panic has set in but I no I’ll be fine xx
